My site won't scroll in IE 6.0

Voetleuce en f?nsievry · Jun 11, 2004

G'day everyone

A few colleagues from all over the globe tells me that my site doesn't
scroll in IE 6.0. It scrolls just fine in Netscape 7 and Opera 7.2+.
Also, I'm told that my favicon doesn't appear in Opeara 7.23 although
in my Opear 7.51 it displays just fine. The favicon is not a major
issue, but the scrolling certainly is. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Scrolling problem confirmed.

On initial load or refresh there is a scroll bar but the scrollable portion
of the page is, suspiciously, exactly as high as the right hand side bar.

On font change or a slight resize of the page (both causing the page to be
layed out again) the scroll bar shrinks and the entire page is scrollable.

This all points to you haveing triggered one of the standard IE bugs with
float.

I don't see anything in your css that jumps out at me. I do note that you
are triggering quirks mode by not having a url in your doctype.

Time for experimenting I think

BTW why don't you download IE6 to test it for yourself?

Cheers
Richard.

Favicon is working in Opera 7.23.

Replace

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

with

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

and see how it turns out.

I have not examined your code long enough to know how to fix your
webpage, but I would fix the CSS error first. As mentioned by Neal, your
doctype declaration should be the full url. Also, in your code, I would
replace this

<p><a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator-uri.html"><img
src="vcss.png" alt="Valid CSS 2" height="31" width="88" border="0"
/></a></p>

with

<p><a
href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://www.leuce.com/translate/style.css"><img
src="vcss.png" alt="Valid CSS 2" height="31" width="88" border="0"
/></a></p>
